SA35/300 Homecraft Saw

I was looking at a few similar saws when I had a senile moment, got my sizes mixed up and ended up buying this small razor saw instead of it's larger cousin the 35/380. For the £9 it had cost, I figured it wasn't worth the hassle of a return and decided to hang onto it. Little did I know it would change my life... okay so that might be a bit extreme. Point is, it's a really nice saw. Okay?It's performs well, stays sharp, it's extremely affordable and comfortable to use even for long periods of time, etc. I love that it cuts on the pull because it's that little bit easier control at the start of a cut, although I can understand why some people find it a little strange. If you really want it's not too difficult to remove the saw plate and flip it around. I've owned it for a year and resharpened it once by running a small, very fine-cut triangle file across each tooth once perpendicularly - I'm sure there are better methods (especially if you're sharpening a saw that's properly blunt) but that works well enough for giving the teeth a quick touch up.

These saws are unparalleled when it comes to cutting small pieces of wood (or other material) and create beautiful, flush edges.They are also incredibly sharp, so do be careful when cutting because they will go into your hand like a warm knife into butter (I have many scars to prove this).

I bought this to cut through sheet wood thicker than 2.5ml as my hands are too weak from arthritis to use a Stanley knife type. ( which I use on the thinner sheets)It takes a bit of getting used to cutting on the back pull, and I still tend to 'saw' with it.But it cuts very well and cleanly. Just what I neededThe cover in which it arrives, is sturdy enough to keep for storing the saw.Recommended

Comes in very handy for small jobs and modelling

Very nice saw, well balanced, fine kerf and smooth cut. Bought for doing small dovetails and works a treat.

I use this saw for sawing balsa wood which I use for modelling. It is an excellent small modelling saw which cuts very cleanly through soft balsa wood and will also easily cut through harder wood.

This is a handy saw for small projects and is fairly cheap but with a few major drawbacks:-1) It really could do with a sheath or cover of some sort - it’s really sharp and I would have paid another pound for a case.2) the piece where the blade connects to the handle is super flimsy, mine bent after a bout of branch cutting in my garden, I bent it back but now it’s permanently out of whack.That’s it! It’s pretty sharp but new tools always are and this really should have been half what I paid for it (a tenner)

Great saw for very fine working, more skill needed than I posses to cut tight fitting dovetail joints by hand required, however can easily see how this saw could do so. It cuts very quickly, with really sharp finishes to cuts requiring little sanding to smooth out cut marks!
